Ensuring that your staff understand the duties and obligations of handling data is an essential part of ensuring compliance and avoiding costly legal proceedings. Our experts regularly provide data protection training for schools, academies and colleges.

Available sessions include:

• GDPR Essentials in Education

• Subject Access Request Handling

• Data Breach Handling

• Data Protection Officer Training

Our training is designed to be practical and outcome focused and can be delivered either in person or online.

Our data protection team offers two competitive support packages to provide specialist advice to your existing Data Protection Officer and/or organisation:

• DPO Support retainer

• Fully-outsourced DPO retainer

Whether your requirements are basic or extensive, one of our two DPO retainer services will support your needs. Each service provides you with a specified level of support for a set price, with unlimited additional support made available at specified discounted rates. We provide bimonthly or quarterly billing, dependent on your needs across 12 or 24 month terms. These retainers can be taken as standalone services or as part of a wider retainer for additional legal requirements, which we can provide further information on.

The range of services offered differs depending on the option selected, but both provide assistance with the following:

• Review of data protection policies and procedures

• Telephone and email advice

• Advice relating to data processing agreements and impact statements

• Advice relating to personal data breaches, ICO investigations and data subject access requests

• Regular updates on changes to the law and training

Quotations are provided tailored to your specific needs and consider factors such as the size of the organisation and the amount of personal data held within it.
